Sometimes we see teachers in class speaking and speaking without giving students the opportunity to say samething, so this ppt's intention is to know what to do or not to do. Thanks to AE.

2. In this presentation we will examine:
• Three bad talking habits we often exhibit in class
• How to reduce teacher talking time

3. “Pause-eater”

your favorite
dessert?

cream, right?
“Self-answer”

“Over-explainer”

THREE BAD HABITS
1
2
3
As you know
this……….. and …..

4. PAUSE -EATER
Pausing allows:
 Students time to process what
the teacher is saying
 The teacher to look around
the virtual room and assess
learner comprehension
When we do not pause to allow the student time to
process the information that was presented.

5. THE SELF-ANSWERER
• Teachers can model the answer so students can change one or two
words from their example
• We can make the question visible for visual learners
• Let’s tell them to think and share the answer with a partner before
telling the class
• This bad habit lowers the confidence of learners and teaches them
that they don’t need to answer because we will.
Is a teacher who asks students questions. But
because it takes time for them to answer, she/he
takes that responsibility without giving learners the
chance to do it by themselves.

6. OVER-EXPLAINER
It is when we rely mainly on
'explaining' or 'lecturing as a
way of conveying information
to the students and making
them more confused.
Can you explain
when to use: in, on,
and at?
Complicated right?

7. So instead of giving a “speech”
about the rules and uses of
them, why not telling them to
write sentences using one or
two prepositions. But first we
need to share some examples
with students.

8.  If it is difficult to explain something with words , use graphics, charts, drawings, etc.
 Time is important for students to process information such as questions.
 Try to explain ONLY what the student asks with easy words to understand
 Avoid dominating the class with your words
 Reflect!!!!!!
